A comment on GraphQL Is a Trap?.

I dont like graphql because most of the time I dont know which fields I need until ive been using it for a long time. I dont know if it's just the implementations ive worked with, but none have had a "just give me everything" option.

I really just want rest plus a standardized way to query.

They have UI helper tools with auto-completion, it's not a complete answer but it should make life easier. The select(*) not being supported seems to be an intentional choice unfortunately.
